Answer:
Yes, the given table represent an exponential function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given table is :
x y
1 4
2 16
3 64
4 256
Now we need to identify if the given table represent an exponential function or not. To find that we need to check if we can write the numbers in y-column in form of exponential function
.
We see that y-values are basically powers of 4 so we can write the related function as
.
Which is clearly in form of
.
Hence yes, the given table represent an exponential function.
This question seems to me to be an exercise in applying the rule for a difference of squares in order to rewrite the difference of two relatively large numbers as the "simpler" product of other integers.
